Come lie on a bed of nails and slumber Rise up but the hands all pull you down My sunshine is wind and rain and thunder I sing but I can't make a song So if you want to know where I've been hiding all these years Follow the tears, follow the tears Don't drink from the cup of human kindness It's a strange brew and poison to the touch Don't think that they're saving you the finest part for last Or that you wanted too much So if you want to know where I've been hiding all these years Follow the tears, follow the tears Follow the tears, follow the tears We'll be there for you I believed and I can tell you it's not true Run away before they find you again The consequence of the conscience Is that you'll be left somewhere Swinging in the air So if you want to know why I've been hiding all these years You might just find the way before the signs all disappear Follow the tears, follow the tears If you want to find me, if you really care Follow the tears, they're everywhere now, now
